Femme Fatal Makeup Poll – Oomph Bombshell VS Classic Pinup

In spite of all the “hatred”, “jealousy” or pure “envy” directed towards the femme fatale, we still love her – or rather her look. After all, that is how someone termed a “femme fatale” gets her fame in the first place, it all zeroes down to the makeup. Think of all the femme fatale roles that have been made famous in movies and what will stand out the most is the makeup that was sported.

Most of the femme fatale makeup follows two distinct patterns – the oomph bombshell look or the classic pinup look. The oomph bombshell is more synonymous with a slightly more vampish role, where the character is shown to be bold and in your face and an enchantress foremost. There is also an underlying dark quality to this bombshell makeup which adds an element of the “ice queen” quality as well as a sense of mystery.

The classic pinup look with its kitten eyes and red lipstick has always been a popular makeup type for most femme fatal characters. It is a sexy look that has held timeless appeal and bowled over people ever since its conception.

Both the looks have their own place as far as sexy makeup is concerned. However, which femme fatale look do you think conveys that hint of lethal seduction and jaw dropping sexiness to the hilt – the oomph bombshell or the classic pinup?
